What is a turntable animation?

A turntable is a looping clip where the camera orbits an object through 360 degrees so the viewer sees every side. It is the standard way to show a product in 3D.

How to do it

  1. Open the MeshShot web app and import the model.
  2. Apply the turntable camera preset.
  3. Export a GIF or video that loops.

Technically the object stays still and the camera moves. Keeping speed constant and ending exactly where it began makes the loop seamless.

Good to know: Slow, steady rotation reads as premium; fast spins look cheap.
